Insurance Companies Represented
as Afraid of Anarchist Torches.
CHICAGO, April 5.-The Times says
GA report was current yesterday that j.
V. Farwell d Co., had sometime ago
written to several insurance companies
throughout the country which are repre-.
sented here asking for an Increased line
OF insurance, and that tn e insurance COM
panies had refused to take any more risks
IN Chicago until after the present local
election was decided, and If the Social
lstic ticket was elected that they would
withdraw from here entirely. A reporter
called upon Mr.. Farwell and asked him
in regard to the report. 'Well,' said he,
you can form your own opinion from this
letter.
"The letter was from the vice president
OF an insurance company to whom Mr..
Farwell had written. 1t stated that the
risk had been offered to another company
whose president declined it, giving as a
reason for his action, fear that the
Anarchists may some day burn up your
city,
"'There,' said Mr.. Farwell, after the re-
porter had read the letter, lis the fact
and it speaks for itself. The gentleman
who has charge of the insurance may be
able to tell you more
This gentleman said that In case OF
victory for the Socialists to-day he was
assured that a large number of compa-
MES would withdraw their risks.''

Saturday afternoon from the city bydrants
and proved very successful. Four
streams were turned on from as many
hydrants, ana water was thrown TO the
top of the highest brick building on
Lemon street, four stories high. No
formal test was made, but from the per-
formances given the people here think
they will be well protected from Gre. The
system is akin to the Holly system, with
the addition OF powerful pump. The
stand pipe is 100 feet above Lemon street
at the Putnam House, and this pressure
alone is very great. Add to this the
pump force and 1t would naturally seem
as If the Gem City was pretty well pro-
tected now.

BOYS AS INDORSERS.

Not Worth a Cent on the Dollar.
ST. JOHN, N. b., April 5.-In connec-
ton with the recent failure OF the Mari
time Bank it has been discovered that the
bills of exchange which passed between
the Stewart firm, Guy, Bevau 81 Co., and
the bank were Endorsed by boys in the
employ of the three concerns. The last
English mail brought notices to several
OF these boys that bills bearing their
names had been dishonored, and
asking them to provide for them.
About dozen boys were used
for this purpose, and the operations have
been going on for some time, the bankers
who accepted the bills thinking the in
dorsers were responsible parties. One
lad has stated that when these firms and
the Marine Bank began handling bills Of
exchange together no Indorser was re-
CURED save the person in whose name
the bill was drawn, but as time
passed on and the paper became
known in New York and Canadian mar
kets, and some OF the bankers demanded
that in future the bills should bear more
than one name, then the boys were
called into requisition. The lads say
they were never shown the faces Of the
bills, ana until they received notice did
not know the amounts that were con-
tanned ia them. Some OF them have in
dorsed to the extent of $4,000. Further
developments are looked for
